Year 6 – Thursday, 9th April, 2020

Good Morning Super Year 6!

SAP BrandVoice: Does The Easter Bunny Have A Sustainable Supply Chain?

Hello everyone! Hope you are all feeling fine and dandy today. Today is Maundy Thursday which is the day in the Easter story when Jesus had his Passover meal with his disciples known as the Last Supper.

Today’s page brings you some new great(ish) jokes and some more activity ideas to keep you from getting bored. Remember they are only for those who want to get involved.

Take a look here for some HeartSmart videos you may like to share as a family.

Mrs Silvester, Miss Pettitt and Mrs Chapman

Daily Fun Easter Activities

Daily physical activity of some sort is still very important (and can be fun too!) so make sure you get your body moving at some point today. Go out on your bike with a family member, a lovely springtime walk or some PE exercises in the lounge or garden. Some of you might have a skipping rope. How many fast jumps can do you do in a minute?

Mrs Silvester is still up for a times table battle on TT Rockstars – she will be in the Year 6 Arena every day at 11am if you fancy joining her. Her Rockstars name is Harmony Powers.

Spring time English

Write a job advert for the Easter bunny. What qualities must they possess? What will their responsibilities be if they are successful and given the job? What rewards might this job bring? What will their working hours be? Will there be a salary (money they get paid for doing this job)?

Make the advert look colourful for this springtime advert.

Are you ready for some more jokes?

What did one Easter egg say to the other? Heard any good yolks today?
What do you call an Easter egg from outer space? An egg-straterrestrial!
Why shouldn’t you tell an Easter egg a joke? It might crack up!
What do you call a very tired Easter egg? Eggs-austed.
What’s an Easter egg’s least favorite day? Fry-day.
What do you call a mischievous egg? A practical yolk-er.
What happens if you tell a joke to an Easter egg? It cracks up.
Did you hear the one about the house infested with Easter eggs? It needed an eggs-terminator!
Why was the little girl sad after the Easter egg hunt? Because an egg beater!
Why did the Easter egg hide? It was a little chicken!

The End!

Year 5 – Thursday 9th April

Good Morning Year 5 – Happy Easter!

Good Morning Year 5!

We hope that you have enjoyed seeing Mrs Poole and Miss Fowler creating different crafts and entertaining you with jokes and riddles. Today Miss Fowler has created a video for you to enjoy.

We have really enjoyed receiving all of your cheesy Easter jokes. Here are the ones that we have received so far:

What happens when you pour hot water into a rabbit hole? You get hot cross bunnies!
How do rabbits travel? By hare-plane!
How many chocolate bunnies can you put into an empty Easter basket? Only one because after that, it’s not empty!
How does the Easter bunny stay in shape? Lots of eggs-ercise!

Remember to email us if you think of any others and send us the results of Miss Fowler’s challenge for you today at year5@stmarksce.org.uk

As it is Good Friday tomorrow and Easter Monday there will be no website post from us until Tuesday. When we do post again, we will be sharing some more suggestions of activities that you could complete over the week. Remember these are optional ideas, just some activities that you could do if you would like to.

We hope you all have a fantastic Easter!

Year 5 Team

Ongoing Daily Activities

On Monday, we posted some ideas of activities that you could complete this week. Here is a little reminder of our ideas:

Baking – Can you bake a cake or pancakes?
Design an egg – Could you draw one on paper or maybe even draw on a real one?
Egg and spoon race – Who wins out of your family? Let us know!
Make a card – Could you maybe send it to a friend or relative that you are missing?
Have an egg hunt – Can you write some clues to go with it?
Make an obstacle course – Could you add exercise challenges too to each station?
Research some Easter jokes – If you find some really funny ones, can you email them to us? We might pop some on our website!
Make an Easter game – What might the prize be?
Code breaker (on Monday’s post) – If you cracked the code, can you make your own?

Easter Craft Example

Miss Fowler made pancakes in the shape of an Easter bunny. She followed the instructions carefully to create her pancake art.

As Miss Fowler said in her video, your challenge (if you would like to join in) is to identify the tune she played and create your own lyrics – linked to Easter – to the tune of a nursery rhyme.

For Example:

Twinkle Twinkle Easter bunny,

Miss Fowler thinks she’s really funny,

Easter eggs are fun to hunt,

Mrs Stone hid them out the front…

We know how creative you can be from when you created the incredible songs for the World At Large project!

We look forward to seeing all of your fabulous creations. Good Luck!

The End!

Year 4 – Thursday 9th April

Good Morning Year 4

I hope that you are all well and have been enjoying some of the Easter activities that we have provided for you. It is strange not seeing you and I am looking forward to organising our Zoom meet up after the Easter holidays. It has been a strange few weeks and meeting up with people through the power of video link seems to have become the new normal – I have met up with friends and even been to my choir through Zoom!

I have enjoyed going out for walks around Winchester and along the river; it has been so lovely to see all of the wildlife. I saw a pair of goldfinches on one of my walks, I think they are my favourite bird, you often see them in pairs. I have also been reading lots of books, it is such a good way to relax but I am always sad when the story comes to an end.

Today is Maundy Thursday which marks the beginning of the Easter weekend. Maundy Thursday marks the day that Jesus and his disciples met for the Last Supper, when Jesus washed his disciple’s feet and then broke bread and shared the wine in the first act of Holy Communion.

This Easter weekend will be a strange one, very different to any other Easter weekend. It might be a good opportunity to share the Easter story as a family, this is an interesting retelling using a single sheet of paper. The Easter Story

I heard about people locally to me creating their own Easter egg hunt, by decorating a picture of an egg and putting it in their windows, rather like the rainbows and teddy bears we are seeing so many of, I am making crochet Easter egg bunting to put up in my window.

Wishing all of you a Happy Easter weekend.

Year 3 – Thursday 9th April

Good Morning Year 3

Hello Year 3, I hope you are having a lovely Easter break and are managing to get out in the sunshine as much as you can. I have enjoyed being able to spend time in the garden and taking my girls out on their bikes or scooters once a day.

On Monday we posted some ideas of activities you might enjoy doing over the holidays. I have been having a go too. Yesterday I followed Mrs Boyle’s video to make a bookmark, as I need a bookmark for the new book I am reading. It’s called the Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell and I am reading it because my daughter read it and was so excited talking to me about it, it made me want to read it too. Have you been reading any good books? Maybe you could email in and tell us if you had read anything exciting. We’d love to hear!

Here is my chick bookmark. I did have to pause the video a few times to check I was folding it correctly. I’m quite pleased with it!

Below I have posted a video where I am asking you 3 Easter riddles. Can you solve them? Email us the answers if you can.

I hope you have a wonderful Easter weekend, We will be back with you on Tuesday
Mrs Spiers
